Advantage Engineers performed emergency site assessment consulting services to two mutual clients to evaluate the impact of a situation where a piece of man lift equipment fell into an existing self-support tower. Advantage quickly deployed a tower crew to the subject tower. Once at the site, Advantage determined the man lift caused extensive damage to the bracing of the tower. Our initial scope of work included performing on-site consulting services for our client.

As Advantage continued to assess the situation, we determined the man lift would need to remain in place for a week or more during the investigation process. To support the man lift and help eliminate possible settling and transfer or additional load to the tower, Advantage designed and coordinated a shoring plan. Advantage was on site during the removal of the man lift to provide any additional resources in the event of any complications involved with the removal. As a result, crews removed the man lift without incident and the client did not need additional Advantage services. The property owner managed the overall assessment of the damaged tower.
